Tiewaz reversed

Tiewaz is the letter T

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Tiewaz is a guiding star; well does it keep faith with princes;
it is ever on its course over the mists of night and never fails.

The rune for this week is Tiewaz, described in this poem as the Pole Star, but whose name is also a variant of Tyr, a god of sacrifice, but also judgement, wisdom, honor, and war. Tiewaz reversed indicates that subtle influences of this week are opportunities for us to grow in those qualities. Hard decisions, questions of ethics and integrity, and seeking for clarity will be a common foundation among events of the week.

July 1, 2010 – Jera

Jera

Jera is the letter J, but is pronounced with a “y” sound.

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Summer is a joy to men, when God, the holy King of Heaven,
suffers the earth to bring forth shining fruitsfor rich and poor alike.

While Jera is often translated as Summer or Harvest, it also means Year. It is an excellent beginning for July, as it does signify that summer is well established (especially here in Southern California) it also combines well with the rune for July, as part of the symbolic meaning of Jera is the idea of hard work and patience which combine to create, build or nurture a task into something that brings gain and reward, much like the harvest as the end of long period of work. So, settle in, get patient and start planning, working, and laying down the foundations to build what you desire

Uruz

Uruz is the letter U

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

The aurochs is proud and has great horns;
it is a very savage beast and fights with its horns;a great ranger of the moors, it is a creature of mettle

Strength, power and mettle is the focus for July. It is both a time of expressing that strength, using your powers and talents, but also for building strength, physical, metaphysical strength and general life improvement.

Dagaz

Dagaz is the letter D

Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (from ragweedforge.com)

Day, the glorious light of the Creator, is sent by the Lord;
it is beloved of men, a source of hope and happiness to rich and poor,and of service to all.

You might have noticed that I have not been posting comments with some of my rune of the day posts. I felt that I should keep some of my contemplations and musings to myself regarding what was going, as the messages coming through seemed intensely personal and private. I did post the runes themselves, as a means to share, and also allow my readers (all 11 of you, yay!) to have their own contemplations. Today still has a personal feeling to it, but I can share some of the thoughts with you all. Part of my understanding of Dagaz is that it is the rune that symbols change and transformation, or rather transmutation. While it is the day, it also encompasses the idea of Dawn and Sunrise, when the world quickens and changes, embracing new things, or for some being rudely awakened to things that one would rather ignore or just not deal with. Each day brings change, and change is what allows things to transform, transmute, and alter. It is, in a sense, a very alchemical rune, in the sense that by bringing in changes, the work progresses, and transformation of the base substance is continued until it becomes the lapis occultus, or Philsophers’ Stone.
Sometimes, the smallest and simplest of actions, can yield the most profund of transformations.
